Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1273: After (3)
Chapter 1273: After (3)
The Heaven Department head was clear. They were free to act if they wanted to, but they shouldn't harm the pavilion like Zhu Tianfang had.
The newly returned Profound Department head conversed through his directory for a while before laughing, "Su Yu is saying that he still wishes to remain a member. He is even asking to reopen our branch in Grandstar City. In fact, he's asking for a branch in each of the ancient cities...all for the price of appointing him an elder in charge of managing all thirty-five ancient city branches. Otherwise, he will ban us from all ancient cities."
Once again, the heads were rendered speechless. Had Su Yu gotten addicted to being a pavilion member? After getting his identity exposed, he was actually openly demanding to become an elder, with the threat of retaliation if he wasn't given the promotion he demanded.
"No!"
"That bastard wishes nothing more than sending us to our doom."
"I'm not totally opposed. Su Yu is quite capable, as a member. But he has formed an alliance with all the ancient cities. Without his approval, it will be hard for us to continue operating in the ancient cities."
"I am agreeable as well. There is never a lack of experts and geniuses of the various races in the pavilion. We now know his identity. That is enough for us to contend with him. Of course, we need to keep our storage in the ancient cities low after this lest he decides to stage another robbery."
"I'm agreeable as long as he's forbidden from some of our secrets."
"He is indeed quite capable. He was the one who had increased our reputation and expanded our ranks greatly in the Human Realm previously. In fact, he hasn't even killed that many of our members. He's not the same as Zhu Tianfang."
The Invincibles and Pseudo Invincibles started sharing their views. They were not opposed to this request. Losing access to the ancient cities would be quite a heavy blow to them. Those branches of them were akin to their windows to the outside world.
Without those windows, they would find it much harder to operate in the Allheaven Battlefield. More importantly, Su Yu was now the leader of the thirty-five ancient cities. Sure, the formation of the alliance had yet to be formalized. But it would most likely happen. Everyone could appreciate the wisdom of strength in numbers.
Not only did Su Yu have the backing of the stone statues, but he was also quite generous. For example, he had fulfilled his promise of handing two carrier treasures to the mayors without any hesitation. Mayor Tian He had received one of the carrier treasures while the other had been claimed by the green fox.
After all, the green fox was the one to lure Yan Mo away from Grandstar City. As for Mayor Tian He...well, the others didn't know what to say about him anymore. In fact, the six mayors who had arrived late had been grumbling about this. When Su Yu promised the two carrier treasures, he did not specify that the reward would only be given to the second group.
Thus, they had no ground to argue when both carrier treasures were given to the mayors in the first group.
Nevertheless, that was enough to prove Su Yu's generousity. In truth, the mayors had never expected him to fulfill his words. They had merely been making a gamble when they agreed to fight for him. They knew full well just how rare carrier treasures were.
After a while, the Heaven Department head said, "Since he wishes to be an elder, we will fulfill his wish. After all, there is a precedent of someone from his line serving as an elder in the pavilion. Wasn't Nan Wujiang the previous First Profound? He can be the new First Profound. We don't even need to provide him with a new mask. He can ask for the mask from Nan Wujiang. If he manages to get that mask, he can serve as the new Profound Department head. That will make it impossible for Nan Wujiang to sneak back into he pavilion."
Nobody objected to that. It wasn't like they had a better option.
***
"First Profound?"
Su Yu blanked out. He was to be the new First Profound?
That would feel awkward. He wasn't surprised that the pavilion had agreed. After all, they wouldn't enjoy the damage he could cause to them. Why did he want to become an elder? Well, there were a lot of treasures in the pavilion. As an elder, he could get an even bigger discount when purchasing these treasures.
Since he had a chance to become an elder, he naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity.
The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had an array of products he could purchase, including carrier treasures. With a lovely policy of providing their elders with a fifty percent discount on purchases, why would he leave? Furthermore, he could benefit further thanks to a cut he could get from every transaction conducted through the pavilion.
As an elder, he would receive an even bigger cut. As an elder, he would be able to purchase something worth a hundred points for only fifty points. He would also receive a cut of one percent as an elder. Thus, he only needed to spend 49.5 points to purchase something worth 100 points as an elder. Wouldn't that be great?
As for the fact that his identity was now known to the pavilion, that was no big deal. At worst, he would no longer be able to conceal his identity with his mask. But the discounts alone were enough for him to remain a member.
Just look at Zhou Tianyuan. With a healthy dose of corruption during his time as a department head, he had earned enough to provide the Zhou brothers with four carrier treasures.
It was likely that the Liu Family had also received its carrier treasures from Zhou Tianyuan. Perhaps even the Qin Family had received its carrier treasures from him as well. Clearly, Zhou Tianyuan had profited greatly from corruption during his tenure in the pavilion. Just how long had Zhou Tianyuan been in the pavilion? About fifty years. Yet he had earned so much during such a short period of time.
Thus, Su Yu was quite pleased to learn that the pavilion had agreed. He approved of their wisdom in agreeing to his request. Otherwise, he would be forced to shut their businesses, which wouldn’t be healthy for their profits.
"Well, that's settled for now. It's time for me to enter seclusion and finish my body forging. Then, I need to organize the assembly to ascertain my position as the boss of all mayors."
Suddenly, he summoned the little furball out and stared at the furball for a long while before saying, "Sir Ball."
"..."
The two stared at each other silently.
After some time, the little furball shivered and said, "Scared!"
"Don't be scared." Su Yu smiled, "How can you be scared? You are the prince of the soul devourers. You are Sir Ball! We are brothers and good friends. Your parents are—"
"Your parents as well?" The little furball finished the sentence for Su Yu. He was very familiar with Su Yu's ways. Through this reasoning, Su Yu had obtained quite a lot of relatives.
Su Yu smiled, "Exactly. We're family..."
"You always want to pinch me to death!"
The little furball complained. But soon, he started shaking. He did not shake out of fear. Rather, he was shaking proudly. Was his dada amazing? Was his mama amazing? In truth, not even the little furball himself knew that they were so amazing previously. Well, it wasn't surprising that he wasn't aware of that. Apart from the fact that his dada was called a Pseudo Emperor, he knew nothing. But now, he knew that his dada was amazing.
Su Yu laughed, "That's a misunderstanding. Look at you. You're already a Mountainsea. Do you remember how much good stuff have I fed you? The more you love someone, the more extreme you will be when expressing that love. I had merely been scaring you to encourage growth. Look at you. It hasn't even been long since you met me and you're already a Mountainsea. You have enjoyed a speedy growth after meeting me. Am I right?"
The little furball considered that and nodded his body. Indeed, he had grown quickly after following Su Yu.
"Thus, we should forget about the past. We're brothers, after all..."
"Compensation!"
The little furball's eyes lit up in anticipation as he made his demand.
Su Yu flashed a genial smile and said, "What do you need?"
"I...want to eat! First, I want to eat tribulation. Then, I want to eat fire—"
He was sent flying by Su Yu. With a snort, Su Yu said, "Don't get too cocky after a little praise from me. Your dada and mama are still trapped back home."
Sure enough, the best way of educating this little fellow was a little beating now and then. How could this little fellow demand for his characters? When his parents were trapped back home?
The little furball had an awkward expression, but he wasn't surprised. He knew that Yummy wasn't sincere! He returned to the sea of willpower sulkingly and started licking the characters inside to console himself. Yummy was a liar!
Su Yu rolled his eyes. He knew the little furball wouldn't be willing to part from him. After all, the little furball was still dreaming of eating his golden book one day. Clearly, the little furball had grown more and more cunning nowadays.
He reminded himself that he had to be strict with the little furball's education lest the little furball became too greedy. He also reminded himself to stop thinking about pinching the little furball to death in the future. After all, those two furballs were too terrifying. Instead, it would be prudent for him to form an amicable relationship with the little furball.
Meanwhile, the little furball was reminding himself to maintain an amicable relationship with Yummy. That should buy him time to find a way to eat the things around him. Nowadays, the things in the sea of willpower had improved significantly in smell. He kept having a feeling that he would become very amazing after eating these yummy things.
Each of the two was scheming against the other.
One maintained a friendly facade while the other maintained an innocent facade. Both would maintain a smile even as they cursed at the other inwardly.
Su Yu would never believe in the little furball's innocence. Someone truly innocent wouldn't be so decisive when eating characters and willpower.
As for the little furball, he would never trust the smile on Su Yu's face. He knew that only a bad person would smile that much.
They had been together for too long. Thus, they were all too familiar with each other.
